Jax Ward Aged 11
Barramundi
Jax went fishing on Father's Day at Corroberree Billabong and got himself his 1st Barra - a whopping 83cm on a Reidy's Lure, pulled in on his own! He was convinced he had hooked a croc as there were alot hanging around. He could hardly hold it, see his face! This is a big fish for this river and they are hard to hook up at the moment. His dad got the best Father's Day present.....his son hooking his 1st Barra!!

Thomas & fishing friend Vanessa Aged 7
Bream - we think!
I caught my first fish, a Bream (we think!) at Port MacDonnell (January 07) along with my fishing partner Vanessa. The rod was a gift for xmas from Vanessa’s parents. Unfortunately we had to throw it back as it was undersize but none the less we had fun catching it.

Blue Swimmer Crab This is one of twelve I caught with my Dad in Port Stephens on our first ever time crabbing. We put five nets in the water using Mullet for bait and caught one on each net each time we pulled them up. Im definitely hooked they are tricky to get out of the net but that's what my Dad is for.

Isaac Damare Aged 4
I caught this fish all by myself when I was fishing with Dad on 18th Dec 07 at North Haven, SA.
Dad said the fish was too small so we put it back into the water so it could grow bigger. We didn't know what type of fish it was.
I am going fishing again, this time at 3 O'Clock in the morning when it's high tide so we can catch more bigger fish!

Mitchell Symes Aged 4
Caught at Corroboree on Sat 29 Sep. No idea on the weight but it was just under 40cm. Caught on the lure you can see. Not what he was after but he loves catching fish just the same.
He managed a nice tarpon and 3 catties as well.
This is not his first fish but it is the first he has caught on his own. He has caught 2 stripeys before that he still talks about.

Aaron Mercer
On Saturday we thought we would go fishing at
lake
Barrington
to try out our new boat and give it a run.
The week before I went in to Stratton's to buy some lurers and was told to use a Tassie devil bull frog and I would do all right.
When we got to
Barrington
and put the boat in it was overcast and looked liked it would rain.
So we trolled up the lake from the rowing course end and did no good,so we puled in to have some lunch and I asked dad could I do some spinning and he said yes.
So I went to the tackle box and got my new bull frog lure two cast later I had a fish on I called out to dad to come quick, he could no believe his eyes as I handed him my rod as I could not wind any longer It was a Atlantic salmon the biggest fish I have ever caught we landed it with a net it all most weighed 10 pound.
My dad hasn't even caught a fish that big and do I let him know.
